Before her execution, Anne Boleyn said, “I heard say the executioner was very good, and I have a little neck.”

Damn! I would not have recognized you. And you actually look like Anne! (Or at least what the portraits of her look like.) Impressive!
This is amazing! I have to send this to my mom too, she’s VERY into Anne Boleyn. Great balance of macabre and sexy!
Anne Boleyn!
Love it, awesome costume!
Incredible, as I knew it would be!
LOVE IT!!!
Gosh Halloween is so much fun!
great costume.
you look amazing! much more buttoned up than what we wore the year we went as the ladies of the moulin rouge
Excellent costume. I keep wondering how long ‘The Tudors’ will go on before poor Anne meets her fate.
Lookin’ good Mrs. B! Of course, you have the key piece of jewelry that ties it all together…
Loved the film clip too!
The other “queen getting executed” clip I love was Mary Queen of Scots getting the axe in “Elizabeth the Golden Age”… the red dress was WOW!
Have a fun night!
Amazing amazing costume! Not to sound nosy, but did you rent it?
This is terrific!!! Great job WB.
Very nice! Happy Halloween!
so awesome!
Damn you Wendy Brandes, why must you remind me of the beautiful Boleyn necklace! I’ve ranted to you before about how the Tudor dynasty is my favorite period in British history. You have pulled this off amazingly. You absolutely exude Anne’s legendary charisma (though you also exude beauty, which she supposedly lacked).
gosh!! i’m speechless!!
GREAT costume!!!!
Woot!! Amazing costume!
Hey KD….I had the jacket made for me a couple of years ago. The skirt is something I’ve had since I was about 25. The crown, scepter and blood are from Ricky’s. The fabulous makeup job is by Christopher at Kimara Ahnert.
Fabulous costume you put us Brits to shame!
Brilliant. I didn’t recognize you!
Most appropriate costume choice ever.
Hi there-looking awesome, hope you had a fabulous time!!
sweet costume!
You look too alive in the first pic, but the second one is enough to give me nightmares!
Looking good
Wow, you look amazing. Fab makeup, it completely transforms you. And the costume is awesome. The jewelry…well, that just goes without saying. Perfect. Hope you had a good time and got in a little necking (tee hee).
Great costume! I’m sorry I missed seeing you in it last night.
Great costume!
Fooled me!
that is one great costume! i love it!
Ooooh amazing!
Absolutely amazing!!! (including seeing you without red lipstick!!!)
You missed your calling as a make-up artist I think!
*Love* 'Anne of the 1000 Days,' my favorite take on her, I think, at least from the movies. & you look fantastic! I would not have recognized you with those pale lips!
Fantastic costume!! Kudos!
Wishing Henry a speedy recovery <3
scary! but worked pretty well!
ugh. loving it! btw, the non red lips make you look TOTALLY different.
i should do a red lip more…
you look fabulous!!
Very cool!
Excellent costume and branding opportunity. Although you are perhaps too well disguised without your trademark red lipstick.
The Ashley Todd costume is genius!
late comment, but you look amazing! such a great costume. & previous commenters are right, i was trying to pick why you looked so different & it's definitely the lack of red lips!
Excellent costume Wendy B!
You’re make-up is killer. Only you can make a dead Boleyn look hot! Awesome costume!
